I have worked in education for 24 years. My jobs have included teacher, instructional technology facilitator, state department consultant, university program administrator, K-12 director of media and technology, and director of K-12 programs.

Currently, I am an assistant principal at East Carteret High School, a school of 636 students.  In SY 08-09, I was assistant principal at Newport Elementary School, a school of 815 students.  In SY07-08, I was an assistant principal at West Carteret High School, a school of 1270 students. I am middle school athletic director and distance learning coordinator for the school system.

I am/have been a member of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, the North Carolina School Library Media Association, the North Carolina Association of Education and Communication Technology, the North Carolina Athletic Directors Association, The North Carolina Principals and Assistant Principals Association, and the North Carolina Association of School Administrators. I am on the advisory board for North Carolina Virtual Public School.

Whether a Yellow Jacket, Yosef, an Achiever, a Cardinal, a Patriot, a Pirate, a Charger, a Cougar, a Hawk, a Mariner, or an Eggie — I have witnessed the power of teams and technology to support and enhance teaching and learning. I am forever curious about such possibilities.

I am an experienced collaborator, designer, presenter, writer, leader and innovator for effective change in  teaching/learning environments.
